Help us spread the message: No live rabbits for Easter

Rabbits are commonly relinquished to animal shelters

Rabbits are the third-most commonly relinquished animal to shelters and rescues, behind dogs and cats. Unwanted rabbits face a cruel death when abandoned outside, either killed by predators, hit by a vehicle, unable to survive harsh weather conditions, or death due to parasite infection.

Rabbits are complex creatures with unique needs

Rabbits are a familiar symbol of the Easter holiday. It is no surprise that children beg their parents for a bunny of their own. Ill-prepared to care for these unique creatures, their "owners" often quickly tire of them, flooding local humane societies and rabbit rescues with former Easter rabbits or dumping them outside to die. The Make Mine Chocolate! campaign was created to educate the public on the realities of living with a rabbit, and to discourage giving live rabbits as Easter gifts.
